Edwin Thompson, whose seventy-eighth
birthday was recently celebrated in Bos-

slavery and temperance worker, his
friends do well to commemorate his latest
natal day. 1t seems that Frederic Doug
lass got his first inspiration from Edwin
Thompson. As reformer he has always
been as noted for his good nature as if he
had chosen to walk in paths lined and
perfumed with roses; in fact he has walked
among thorns and briars. AS Univers-
alist minister he was of the number who
took the initiative in putting the denom-
nation on temperance basis, and IN
Il
whereof we confess deep pride. He
has had for friends list of names des-
tined for fame as nearly immortal as any
thing human can become Lyman Beech
er, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell
Phillips and John G. Whittier"
CONNECTICUT New London
parish has suffered a serious loss in the
death of William D. Pratt. He was an
old resident of the place, had been iden-
titled with our cause through all the
changes of fortune that have attended it,
and proved, from first to last, an abiding
and helpful friend. He was the chief
contributor toward the erection of the
present edifice, and remembered the
church generously in his last days. He
had attained the ripe age of nearly four
score years. The New London people
hope to have the services of pastor the
coming autumn.

torate at Utica after five years. service,
intending for the sake of health to find a

settle permanently there. i Rev. FL. O.
Munson, of Livermore Falls, Me-, has ac-
cepted an invitation to take charge of the
